[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I gave birth at Sibley and it was a great experience minus the woman screaming while doing the natural birth thing for 8 hours. That said, I would NEVER again. They aren't prepared for anything going wrong. Fairfax INOVA or GW is the best bet.[/quote]

Agree with this. I don't know why people give birth at Sibley knowing they can't deal with problems with the baby. You have no idea what's going to happen during birth, why would you want to take this chance when there are other hospitals in the area fully equipped to handle any issues with your baby.

There is no way to know you are not going to have problems. Absolutely no way. [/quote]

My understanding is they have a special care nursery staffed with neonatologists 24 hours (a level II NICU) which can deal with some problems.  Otherwise they send the baby to Georgetown.  So I don't think the statement "they can't deal with problems with the baby" is entirely accurate.  What is that based on?[/quote]
